What kind of sequence do you prefer?
Hi all,
I am ruminating on a topic of yoga class sequencing.
I usually do yoga asana practice every morning. And most of the mornings the practice itself looks different from the day before considering the structure, amount of asanas, dynamics etc. (Maybe a good time to say that I am a yoga teacher creating my own classes which I then share with my students).
But I also very much enjoy classes like Ashtanga primary series or Jivamukti spiritual warrior, which have fixed sequence of poses.
The other day I was reading a book from A. Van Lysebeth and he talked about those fixed sequences and how they deepen the practice, free the mind and allow a practitioner to dive more inwards.
I’ve been playing with a thought of creating a vinyasa sequence suitable for all levels, which would fit into a 60 minutes class, would have a fixed sequence (definitely not so challenging as Ashtanga though) and practice it for some time, let’s say a month, and then maybe share it with others.
I would like to ask you about your opinions, experiences and preferences. What do you practice more of? Variable or fixed sequence? And why?
I’d be grateful for your opinions.
Have a great day.
